before the judgment seat of Christ. 014:011 For it is written, "'As I live,' says the Lord, 'to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.'"{Isaiah 45:23} 014:012 So then each one of us will give account of himself to God. 014:013 Therefore let's not judge one another any more, but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block in his brother's way, or an occasion for falling. 014:014 I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself; except that to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. 014:015 Yet if because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Don't destroy with your food him for whom Christ died. 014:016 Then don't let your good be slandered, 014:017 for the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. 014:018 For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men. 014:019 So then, let us follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up. 014:020 Don't overthrow God's work for food's sake. All things indeed are clean, however it is evil for that man who creates a stumbling block by eating. 014:021 It is good to not eat meat, drink wine, nor do anything by which your brother stumbles, is offended, or is made weak. 014:022 Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who doesn't judge himself in that which he approves. 014:023 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it isn't of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin. (14:24) Now to him who is able to establish you according to my Good News and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret through long ages, (14:25) but now is revealed, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, is made known for obedience of faith to all the nations; (14:26) to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever! Amen.{TR places verses 24-26 after Romans 16:24 as verses 25-27.} 015:001 Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 015:002 Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, to be building him up. 015:003 For even Christ didn't please himself. But, as it is written, "The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me."{Psalm 69:9} 015:004 For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that through patience and through encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. 015:005 Now the God of patience and of encouragement grant you to be of the same mind one with another according to Christ Jesus,
